Question 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.8, Engine died

The engine quit running going down the road at 70mph. The engine will turn over but will not start. I pulled a spark plug and it is getting fire, but sounds like its not getting gas. Could the fuel pump stop working like that? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to DF
Yes the fuel pump could just quit. Did you try to check the fuel pressure?

Took the van to the shop today. The gas gauge got stuck and it ran out of gas, it however messed up the fuel pump. $250 later its fixed. Don't always trust ur gauges....lol
